Rally Together London shows how sport can bring communities together and create real opportunities for young Londoners.

Part of the wider HSBC Championships, Trafalgar Square was transformed into a tennis court to give young people from across the city a place to connect, play, and get inspired.

Devastated to hear the news of the senseless Islamophobic murders at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

Places of worship should be sanctuaries & safe spaces where people can come together in peace.

My thoughts and condolences are with the American Muslim community at this time.

I’m proud to be from a city as vibrant, inclusive and diverse as London. Our city’s heritage is built on the strength of the many communities who call it home. The @MayorofLondon is sending a loud and undeniably clear message that in London everyone is welcome, #LovedandWanted

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

One city. 9 million people. All of us Londoners. We will never be divided.
